The Libs Are Coming After Your Lawns

[zinn]

The Washington Post in a Wednesday story attacked the concept of lawns as
problematic amid global warming.

Post-World War II, reporter Dan Zak writes, lawns started to signal
"privilege" and "power." Now, though, "the planet has accelerated its
revolt against us," leading to an "anti-lawn" movement that sees lawns as
"waste," "disregard," and "zombie Boomerism."

The story comes as employees of Los Angeles's Department of Water and
Power, nicknamed "the water police," patrol the streets to enforce city
water restrictions, particularly on "lush, green lawns, maintained with
automatic sprinklers," AFP reported.

Lawns are just the latest American tradition to be criticized in a left-
wing paper. The Post in 2020 ran a piece that said the national anthem is
racist because a little-heard verse criticizes slaves who fought for the
British in the War of 1812. The Philadelphia Inquirer that same year ran a
piece that said picnics are racist.

Zak admits that lawns will likely remain popular, writing, "You throw a
football on them, you picnic on them, you lean and loaf on them." But
activists say that young people are moving away from the concept of a
lawn, with musician and activist Mel Bryant saying that "it's attached to
a more old-school, boomer generation of the idea of what an American life
is."

Green grass and trees converts more CO2 to Oxygen.... than dead lawns or
rock gardens. Grass does better at converting CO2 to Oxygen than
trees... and they all do better at preserivng water and soil than bare
dirt and/or concrete.... and asphalt.

What the "Marxist/Communist Green-ies" hate is the symbols of oppulance
and spending your money on things a hungry person might consider frivolous.

Because in Authoritarian life the most important thing is propaganda and
censorship to maintain the illusion that you are doing as well as anyone
else.

You are manipulated by your own emotional reaction to someone having
somethoing you want but can't have so the Marxist Communist tells you
that you will have what everyone else has, which is nothing and you will
be happier with nothing. They use your weakness against you.

It makes a lot of sense when water shortages become a real problem,
which is happening right now in big chunks of the country. What would
your solution be?

Here in Seattle, most residential lawns have been brown all summer for
years.

A CA utility texted their customers that they had a critical shortage of
power and would have to implement rolling blackouts unless people
reduced their unneeded power consumption quickly. The people responded,
and the problem immediately went away.

[Mattb]

Why hasn't CA built more desalination plants? This water problem has
been coming for decades.

[Bob F]

Yes indeed. Let's build desalination plants for people to water lawns,
and bill them for it.

For decades Republicans and private companies have shortchanged
infrastructure improvements. Democrats have paid lip service but have
accomplished little.

It's come home to roost.

Didn't pay attention in eighth grade science class?
The oxygen from plants comes from water NOT carbon dioxide.

Where will they get the electric power to run the desalination plants?

Apparently neither did you.

> The oxygen from plants comes from water NOT carbon dioxide.

Are you saying plants release oxygen and hydrogen?

Plants absorb CO2. By photosynthesis, the carbon is fixed as
carbohydrates and hydrocarbons for the plant's use. Oxygen is
released as a waste product of photosynthesis.

desal for agriculture from the ocean is very expensive,
desal from brackish groundwater is much better but still
likely to be too expensive for agriculture.

the better thing to do is to plant less water intensive
crops to stretch what water supplies they already have.
there is also dryland farming techniques which can get
some kind of harvest but not nearly as much.

CA is starting to do many projects that should have been
done 20 years ago (changing their infrastructure to capture
and soak in storm water and high water flows that can be
used instead to recharge aquifers), recycling waste water,
etc.

as to the topic of this thread - having lawns in arid
environments is dumb. also if you have a pool it should be
covered when not in use.

It is nice to see that there are people out there that can think these
things out. The silly "you can take my lawn when you can pry it from my
cold dead fingers" attitude is really too much.

Being "ratted out" by your neighbor ought to do wonders for your "social

The critics of lawns are 100% correct. Not only are they an environmental
disaster, they symbolize mindless conformism. Get rid of them.

If they want the water, yes. Then again I think the city of
Gainesville, Fl uses processed waste water to water parks and golf
courses they might try that. That or become a wasteland.
